College Channels

A branded research home for every college in the network

Each government institution — medical, dental, AYUSH, nursing, physiotherapy and paramedical — gets its own channel: a curated page of its publications, theses and case archives, free at launch. What commercial platforms sell as a subscription, Telangana provides as infrastructure.

Private and deemed colleges of the KNRUHS network join through a paid channel tier — the same product commercial platforms sell as subscriptions — with channel revenue flowing back into the journal corpus and reducing the grant burden on Government.

Community Impact Score

Peer review doesn't stop at publication

Every TJHS article carries a live, post-publication Community Impact Score (CIS) — a 0–10 rating contributed by registered clinicians and researchers, with specialist ratings weighted higher. Inspired by the crowd-scoring pioneered by leading open-access platforms, built for India's largest state college network.

  • Weighted by expertise. A community physician's rating of a community medicine paper counts more than a non-specialist's.
  • Article-level, not journal-level. Readers judge the paper in front of them — aligned with the DORA principles on research assessment.
  • Transparent counts. Every score shows how many raters contributed and from which specialties.
